Abutments in Implant

Implantology is a prosthodontically driven subject with surgical component. Prosthesis will determine where the implant should ideally be placed. Successful implant restoration depends on various factors, case selection, implant placement, osseointegration, abutment selection and maintenance. Abutment selection is an extremely important step to achieve functional and esthetic harmony in implant prosthesis. The process of selecting on abutment involves evaluating the position, angulation, interocclusal space, and tissue height of a given implant. The order of evaluation is extremely important in this method of selection. The position is the first consideration. Once it is determined that the implant is in an acceptable position and is restorable, then the clinician can move on to the other 3 evaluation criteria.
